Free Give Away of the Day Gone?

http://www.giveawayoftheday.

It would appear that Free Give Away of the Day's domain name has expired....I don't think my browser was hijacked.

A shame, as it was a great site to pick up freeware. I hope they repurchase the domain.

It wasn't, I saw pretty much the same thing. One moment it was there, the next, it wasn't. :grin:

Don't mean to hijack the thread but can anyone tell me if there is a problem at WC. I keep getting blank pages and couldn't access Stardock .com so I came to JoeUser. Pages are timing out, There's problems loading pages too. What's going on??

There's a lot of weirdness going on lately. Believe it or not I got here through JoeUser. Sorry for the hijacking but this is unreal. I use FF and going to wincustomize wouldn't work for nothing. I tried to go to Stardock.com and the page was all wrong. Then to JoeUser and clicked on the forums then options and posts from all sites then here at WC. Frankief's link they say is broken yet  I was just there using that link while, was it DrJBHL who said the site had expired? Not from here it hasn't. Like I said ... weird!

Again, we use different DNS servers. In 24 to 48 hours we will all know if this was an accident (i.e.; GOTD accidentaly forgot to renew their domain - it actually happened to Microsoft once, believe it or not) or if they are trully gone (doubt it very much). Anyway, expired domains remain on 'hold' for 3 months, during which time nobody other than the original owner is able to grab it.

As I suspected: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/dzfrg/today_is_the_saddest_day_of_my_life/

Hello everybody, we are aware of the situation with Giveaway of the Day site and are sorry for the inconvenience. Our domain record domain was supposed to auto-renew but failed for some reasons that have yet to be investigated.

Let us assure you that domain has successfully been renewed, still the system needs time to get the site back to proper work.

For those users who still experience problems with access to GOTD, please stay on-line or try to reach us in several hours. We will finally be back! :)

I dunno. You had problems going there and I didn't. I had problems getting here and you didn't. That is what I call weird! Can someone explain that. And how did I get here from JoeUser??

That's not what I'm seeing as yet, but it might day a few more hours before it filters through here.

Funny thing you say that, Philly, I clicked on a link to majorgeeks and had a Fringe moment.  I'm sure I saw another me from another universe logging in at the same time.

Sheesh, there's actually more than one of me?   :-" :w00t: ;P :S
